Tell me; maybe it's my background in other languages, but I would tend to use a 
"static class" as a singleton; or, at least, design a class with only class 
methods/properties, with static "fields" declared in the @implementation 
section of a class.

Why this fascination with going to all the trouble of creating a singleton 
rather than using the "static class" approach?
